Kenya

Gaining in popularity very quickly and an ideal choice for couples who want a beach / safari combination or a two-centre wedding / honeymoon matching Kenya with the Seychelles or Mauritius. Somak Holidays offers wedding packages at a number of beach hotels.

Bali

Another more problematic place to hold weddings, which was why Thomson withdrew. Couples need to be resident in the country for seven working days and present themselves to officials in Jakarta. It is also important that both the bride and groom should be of the same religion.

Malaysia

Most couples who get married in Malaysia do so in Penang – the country’s first and best-known beach resort. Popular locations for the ceremony include the Shangri-La Rasa Sayang with its exquisite gardens.

The US

The popular wedding locations of Florida, Hawaii and Las Vegas have the advantage of having no residency qualification, so couples can get married as soon as their paperwork is in order.

In Hawaii, prices start at £589 which includes hire of a limousine and a solo musician or vocalist at the reception.
